My life is the Army, but I bounce at a bar on the weekend.

It's my way of keeping an eye on my soldiers, and keeping them out of trouble when they're off duty.

But this weekend, I'm tasked with babysitting a bachelorette party for my buddy's fiance.

So when one of them sneaks out of the party room and nearly falls down the stairs, I don't think. I just act.

Time stands still when I see who's landed in my arms. I know in that moment that I'll do whatever it takes to make her mine.

Until I see the ring.

Makayla

Of all the nights for my fake engagement ring to work, it had to be this one.

The sinfully hot bouncer breaks my fall and saves me from crashing down the world's longest staircase.

And then sees the ring.

His lust-filled eyes grow cold and distant.

And there's no chance to explain that the silly thing is meant to ward off unwanted attention during my besties bachelorette party.

Not wanted attention.

I woefully count my losses, convinced he'll be nothing more than a fantasy.

Until I find out he's the best man at the wedding.
